Some new pictures from silkehuset.dk Thanks to Locachica at RB. 5 of them are taken before the wedding whilst the rest of the royals were visiting Høvikodden art center. The Darkhaired woman is Wenche Djønne Koch that did the hair and makeup. The man is the designer Ove Harder Finseth

A Dutch friend Marianne of the Glittering Royal Events MB has been on the look out for the past several months for the special commemorative wedding book for Haakon and Mette-Marit, "Det Kongelige Bryllup." It finally arrived on Friday with some other goodies that Marianne kindly added in. (I will be scanning her postcards and magazines in the next few weeks if I get the chance.) I don't know if anyone has seen this book -- it's a very beautiful coffee table book of the wedding -- but if you pass by it in the bookstore, definitely have a flip through. There were some very nice behind-the-scenes pictures of the wedding and photoshoots.

I have scanned a few others in. As Marianne went through a lot of trouble to find this book for me and I spent a fair amount of money for her to help me buy it and ship it to me, I would greatly appreciate that they not be posted elsewhere. I have scanned them in for the purpose of TRF members, and have labelled them as such.

The wedding dress (where you can really see how beautifully Mette-Marit's dress flowed, as if they were clouds!):

The reception (the more pictures like these that I see of Mette-Marit's dress the more I like it. I was never a fan of her dress until the likes of these pictures were posted originally by Larzen.):

The church service (I haven't ever seen this picture before):

These pictures are my favourite. I love the candid behind-the-scenes images from the official photoshoots. Check out Marius in them! (How big he's gotten since the wedding!)
